Lyrics

Game Size

Smile and you've taken me by surprise
For a while I'm content just to look in your eyes

I was alone but I never felt lonely
My heart was reserved for you only

Helpless
When you touch me I'm powerless
I need you so much baby I'm helpless

Long Version

Lie on the deck of this open yacht
Watch the sky the Caribbean Sea is so hot
Feeling the wind; I can smell the sea
And I hear how the ocean is calling to me

I never knew all the world had to show me
I never let anyone know me - 'cause you know
I was the girl with the strongest defenses
Safe inside my world of pretenses

Smile and you've taken me by surprise
For a while I'm content just to look in your eyes

But when you touch me it feels just like magic
Makes my years almost tragic - oh baby
I was alone but I never felt lonely
My heart was reserved for you only

Helpless
When you touch me I'm powerless
I need you so much baby I'm helpless

Song Production Information

HELPLESS

Untranslated.

HELPLESS (Long Version)

I made this based on the Long Ver. from the soundtrack CD. On the soundtrack CD this song had a piano solo, but this time we tried with a gut guitar solo. A stylish gut guitar solo, right?
